The
San Diego Women’s Foundation (SDWF) announced that it will award $243,000 to
local organizations during its annual Grants Celebration on June 5. This will
be the highest grant awards in SDWF’s 19-year history.

SDWF
will hold the 19th Annual Grants Celebration, Images of Impact: Snapshots of Community
Change, to honor the impact of women in philanthropy and award grants to
these organizations that combat human trafficking in the San Diego region.

This
year’s grantees, selected through a comprehensive vetting process and a final
vote by all 220 SDWF members, include:

Children’s Legal Services

Free to Thrive

GenerateHope

North County Lifeline

Project Concern International: Trafficking Prevention Collective

“Human
trafficking simply should not exist in our community,” said SDWF Executive
Director Katie Sawyer. “We are proud to partner with these phenomenal
organizations who will help survivors get their lives back on track and prevent
others from becoming victims in the first place.”

The
event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, June 5 at the Museum of
Photographic Arts in Balboa Park. The evening will commemorate the new 2019
grant recipients, highlight the successes of last year’s grant cycle and
celebrate the $3.5 million in grants that have been awarded to 96 nonprofit
programs in San Diego since the establishment of SDWF in 2000.
